Is The Elite Ice Age Conspiracy!: 2025 – 2030 True?
Is The Elite Ice Age Conspiracy!: 2025 – 2030 True?

Plants, especially C3 plants like trees and most crops, struggle to survive below 150-200 ppm, threatening food chains and oxygen production. Pair this with geoengineering schemes to dim the sun, and the result could mimic or exceed Ice Age conditions.
